Gas-Phase Synthesis and Reactivity of the Lithium Acetate Enolate Anion, ~-CH2CO2Li

摘要

Dianions are versatile reagents that are widely used in organic synthesis. They are typically prepared by two-fold deproto-nation at carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur centers. These reactive intermediates have a long history going back more than one hundred years to Grignard himself, who prepared the dianion of phenylacetic acid.
